A new three-parameter cumulative distribution function defined on $(\alpha,\infty)$, for some $\alpha\geq0$, with asymmetric probability density function and showing exponential decays at its both tails, is introduced. The new distribution is near to familiar distributions like the gamma and log-normal distributions, but this new one shows own elements and thus does not generalize neither of these distributions. Hence, the new distribution constitutes a new alternative to fit values showing…

A new model called the Weibull-Lomax distribution is introduced which extends the LomAX distribution and has increasing and decreasing shapes for the hazard rate function and outperforms the McDonald- lomax, Kumaraswamy-Lamax, gamma-Lmax, beta-LMax, exponentiated Lmax and Lomax models.
